At the Park.
Yesterday was the first of the racing day:
of the California Slate Fair, and it attracted
to Agricultural Park large number Of
people. The day was quite warm, but the
track was in good condition. and those in
attendance witnessed one of the fastest. il
not the fastest, races that ever took place
over this track, so far as trotters and PAGERS
are concerned, when Homestake came
under the wire in a jog in the fast time OF
2:164. The stands were we'll filled with
people and large number of vehicles were
in the paddock.
The races were not called promptly al
l O'Clock as advertised, and in CONSEQUENCE
one race could not be finished, but was con-
tinued over until to-day. The Board OF
directors at recent meeting decided and Sc
announced that Paris mutual tickets would
be sold upon the race. All pools to be de.
clded at the end of the race and selling on
heats was expressly forbidden This rule
yesterday was violated, all the Paris mutual
pools being sold upon heats, much to the
disgust of many who had put up their
money ON the winner of the race, but found
tnat II mad been taken down by some one
else T1rfmen who evidently want q
square deal are making lively kick, and
the Society will have to enforce their rule
or recede from the position heretofore taken
BAD MANAGEMENT
The blackboard at the Park Yesterday
was perfect nuisance. The first and sec
~
ond race We're placed upon the board as
they should have been, and the horses
their position, and the drivers colors, wer,
easily understood. The last race, however
ana the best race of the day, was not pu
upon the board at all. There were sever
horses in the race, and no one in the vas
throng knew either horse or driver. anC
notwithstanding the splendid time made
and the superior ability displayed on the
part OF the drivers, 1t was annoying in the
extreme not TO be able TO know something
OF the race. If the blackboard is not big
enought 1t ought to be enlarged If one
blackboard clerk is unable to handle the
printed pasteboards, then another should be
employed In the first heat one ofthc horses
was distanced, and it went through the
crowd that 1t was the one which had been
selling favorite IN the pools, and the mis-.
take was not discovered until the close Of
!ne race. M; 1ahue IS one OF the best
